Microphones are unique. An inexpensive mic doesn't mean it’s bad. The quality of a microphone is dependent on how well it works in conjunction with YOUR voice. A great example is this budget friendly Zoom ZDM-1. Let’s see how it compares with a Rode Procaster, a mic 3x the price.
This video is not sponsored, both microphones were purchased by me.

good evening, I would like to ask if the zoom zdm-1 does not have any filling inside, such as an internal pop filter, if I take it apart and insert the internal pop filter from another similar microphone, would it help? to eliminate the floating tones and make a tuning video and subject it to sound testing, thank you very much

Hello! The zoom zdm-1 does not have an internal pop filter. You can see the capsule from the grill. I’ve never tried opening it nor do I have the mic anymore to test so I can’t say for sure. Sorry!

Here is my opinion, Although the Rode Procaster is good sounding and is good. All the issues are with the mesh the damn mesh god loose and was falling apart with in the 10/11 years of warranty and if that mic is all you have your screwed waiting on a new one or yours to be repaired. But Rodes is a good company still they just need to improve on design that's specially the cheap mesh. But my experience with Zoom is awesome so far the mic is good no mesh issues like the procaster and also the procaster is a Large Diaphragm so comparing it to the Zoom was crazy people over look the Diaphragms they count you know.

The ZDM definitely sounds a little sharper (in a bad way) but for the price it really isn't bad!

Yes for sure. Honestly there are a lot of great options at affordable prices nowadays!

MY OPINION I have the Zoom ZDM-1. Here is what I’ve found: 1. After plugging it into the new RØDECaster Pro II, it has revealed a shielding issue (it introduces a morse code-type sound into the mix)-even while using a Mogami cable. 2. The body is extremely sensitive. So audio aside (which is OK), in my opinion it’s only suited as a beginner / budget mic. And if you’re not super careful, you’re gonna easily get unwanted sounds in the recording. yYM
